It's a great event, but leave it to the NHL to beat it to death. It's like the shootout-a penalty shot in a game is exciting, a shootout just overexposes it. The funny thing is, as a Flyers fan, I view the event as just another game. I'd be just as content-maybe moreso- if the Flyers and Bruins dropped the puck at the Garden Amen.
